 ====== Carrion Crow Amor ======
-{{ :carrion_crow_amor.jpeg?200|}}Amor came to our Corvid Isle Sanctuary in May 2017 as a 4 day old hatchling. Strange enough, he has been brought into the house of the cat guardian by her unsupervised roaming cat. The owner brought the injured, lifeless and hypothermic bird straight away to us, and we put him immediately into the incubator. We have found it quite curious that a cat would have raided successfully a crows nest. However, this was the only information available to us.

 Our first assessment found a severe and deep soft tissue injury to Amor’s left wing, which showed a lot of swelling and bruising. Luckily we could not find an associated fracture. The first 2 weeks in Amor’s life were very problematic to say the least, as he developed a wound infection and gastrointestinal symptoms despite intensive treatment. Eventually, with Amor’s will to live and our perseverance the breakthrough came and Amor started to thrive in a more normal way and developed into a beautiful and lovable crow.

 After both birds built their first nest, and laid their first eggs, we found our suspicion confirmed. Once again we got the naming of our birds wrong. Amor turned out to be female, whilst Rhea was now clearly the male in the aviary. Either way, it has been always very touching to see Rhea and Amor caring for each other, and not just only during the nesting season. Outside breeding season, when their hormones had settled, both of them have regularly taken young crows under their wings and helped them to get ready for release.
-On the 9th May 2026, 9 years later, and completely unexpected, without the slightest noticeable health problem or warning, Amor passed away in her aviary in the company of her beloved partner Rhea.
+On the 9th May 2026, 9 years later, and completely unexpected, without the slightest noticeable health problem or warning, Amor passed away in her aviary in the company of her beloved partner Rhea. We are devastated and heartbroken. We all will miss her amazing and gentle soul, and her unique way she communicated and interacted with her own kind and us. Amor, we are very saddened, but we are also very grateful. It was a privilege that our paths have crossed and that we were able to become part of your life. You have been very dear to our hearts and you will be sincerely missed. Rest in peace Amor.
